Table 5.
Frequency of anopheline (all species) sporozoite infection status for both spatial repellent (SR) and placebo treatment arms
Treatment allocation | Plasmodium falciparum | Plasmodium vivax. | Indeterminate* | Noninfected | Sporozoite positivity rate† |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Baseline | |||||
SR | 12 | 9 | 0 | 4,706 | 0.4% |
Placebo | 12 | 9 | 0 | 6,244 | 0.3% |
Intervention | |||||
SR | 3 | 8 | 0 | 8,130 | 0.1% |
Placebo | 6 | 1 | 1 | 9,615 | 0.1% |
SR = spatial repellent.
Indeterminate defined as Plasmodium-positive sample but parasite species not identifiable.
Sporozoite positivity rate = [(Pf + Pv)/(Pf + Pv + indeterminate + noninfected)] x 100%.
